#1 My 17-year-old son asked me âWhat if the terrorists had been Irish Catholic and not Muslim?â I immediately responded with âI would denounce it in the most vocal tone and blame it on the continued âoccupationâ of Northern Ireland by the British.â He said âDamn it I hate it when you make a point!â If there are (as I believe) moderate Muslims out there, they need to take charge of their religion. When you have a cleric claiming that itâs ok to kill civilians because they arenât Muslim or the wrong stripe then something is very wrong here. FYI it appears that the boomers were all British Pakistani, I wonder if they had a connection with the group we just uncovered in Lodi, California? Makes you wonder if they had a similar operation planned for San Francisco.

#2 Terrorism ends when the broader culture refuses to tolerate it. There would be few if any suicide bombers in the Middle East if "martyrdom" were not glorified by imams and politicians, if pictures of local "martyrs" were not proudly displayed in West Bank grocery stores, if Muslim banks did not offer special "martyrdom" accounts to the relicts thereof, if schools did not run essay competitions on "Why I want to grow up to be a martyr".

That sounds familiar.

#3 "...'of course' we all know that 'the vast majority of Muslims' are not terrorists but law-abiding peace-loving people who share our revulsion at these appalling events, etc."
Yes, and I'm sure there were many fine people in Germany and Japan in 1941 too. And yet there was WWII. Islamic culture had better clean up its act soon.
